Window 10 – The New Creation

WINDOW 10
The New Creation

Iconography: Text — Revelation 21:1. “I saw a new heaven and a new earth,” written in English and in Greek. The content of the window is as described in the Book of Revelation, chapters 21 and 22, depicting the world as it will be in God’s presence when His kingdom comes in its fullness. There is no sin or brokenness portrayed in this window.

Artist’s Description: On the left side of the window, John, author of the Book of Revelation, is sitting on the rocks of the Isle of Patmos envisioning the creation of the New Jerusalem which is superimposed on a seven-armed Menorah. On the buildings are illustrations of the lamb and the Book with seven seals (Rev. 5), the tree of life and the river of life (Rev. 22). The foundations of the city are precious stones. These stones are the symbols of the twelve tribes of Israel shown on the breastplate of the high priest. Behind the seated figure of John is another figure —in appearance like the Son of Man (John 1:13-17). The large Greek letter Omega is the symbol of the new Genesis or creation. Christ is the Alpha and Omega. (The Alpha symbol is seen in the first creation window.) There will be complete harmony with God through his Word, Jesus Christ, at the time of the creation of the new heaven and the new earth.
